Lovely, very quirky property which had a lovely feel about it. I stayed here as I was visiting my mother in a local (superb btw!) nursing home and I live abroad, the location is perfect for me and I will definitely stay here again on my many visits to her. Check-in is easy as Simon’s sister lives on the site and she is therefore there to help if it’s needed. Super new kitchen too and a lovely baby grand piano, it was nice to play again, it’s been awhile! Nice quiet rural location but close to local amenities (country pubs, supermarkets etc.)

On arrival we were met by the lovely Bev. Straight away we were made to feel so welcome and at ease. Everything was clean and in lovely condition. Towels and bedding were also provided which really helped. The house is in a stunning location and proved to be such a social house - everything centres around the kitchen which is exactly what we were after! This place was everything we wanted and more. If we are ever up that way again, we know where we'll be staying! The under floor heating was a nice surprise too ;) You won't be disappointed, we already want to go back. Thanks again for your kind hospitality Bev x

If you're looking for quality, unique, family sized accommodation in a country setting then look no further! The hosts were very attentive and so friendly that we were made to feel most welcome immediately upon arrival! This stone barn is simply splendid, very comfortable, immaculately clean and well equipped with a superb and recently refitted contemporary kitchen with high quality integrated appliances. It's completely open plan to the living/dining areas and has a large island unit with plenty of high stool seating in addition to an 8/10 seater dining table, all of which are on the first floor creating a very large social space. There is also a beautiful wood burning stove which we gathered around of the evenings with a glass of wine or two! The main bathroom and ensuite are also newly refurbished and are both on the ground floor along with the 3 comfortable bedrooms. If you're a bookworm then you won't be short of any reading material as there are an array of books. There is also a brand new large Smart TV in the living area. Our small dog joined us and absolutely loved the host's two very friendly dogs and all played nicely in the garden together. My eldest son is at Uni in Preston so this was the perfect place to be able to stay altogether as a family with my teenage daughter and mother too under one roof. We visited The Lake District which was under an hour's drive away and hope to return to this lovely barn again one day so that we can explore more of this beautiful region.

I stayed at The Owls with five friends last weekend, and we all loved staying there. We particularly liked the spacious, open plan living space upstairs which has a very comfortable sofa and a large dining table. The modern kitchen is well equipped and well placed for people to cook while socialising. The whole house is very clean. It's in a peaceful location, and only a short drive to the coast. I highly recommend the property.

Hardip2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay at The Owls! It was a great place for family time - with a big kitchen, lots of board games, and a lovely big garden that our toddler really enjoyed. It's a sweet spot in the countrywide, complete with farm sounds and smells. We enjoyed visiting the windmill farm about 15 mins away, and went for nice walks nearby. The wheatsheaf is a great local pub - highly recommended. Simons sister lives next door and is the best host! So friendly and helpful - really going the extra mile to make us feel welcome.

Isabella2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

The house is lovely and very cosy, great equipped kitchen and big new TV for nights in. Area is beautiful, proper English country side. Signal on mobile phone can be in and out but wifi is available and worked well. There is no washing machine in the house which we struggled with to be honest. If your looking for solitude it may not be the place for you, Beverly lives on site and is always pottering around, we loved chatting we her. She's a lovely lady and very helpful. Our dogs were very welcome and played great with the two gorgeous pooches that live there too. Definitely recommend. Lovely stay.

Shaz2017-09-23T00:00:00Z

A beautiful unique and quirky home set in beautiful gardens. Scrupulously clean. We had a lovely time with our baby daughter who we bathed in the kitchen sink :) Modern fully stocked new kitchen great for cooking and baking. Great power shower. We were visiting family so were familiar with the area. For those that are not the location is only accessible by car really. There are several decent pubs and restaurants a short drive away and one pub just opened a 20 minute walk down the road. Great host who lives in the grounds.

Emily2017-04-06T00:00:00Z

My friends and I rented The owls for the weekend to celebrate birthdays and catch up. It was the perfect setting, a great house in a perfect location, plenty to do. House is as described and more!

The Shippon at Hoscar Hall Farm in Lancashire offers self-catering accommodation and has been awarded 4 Stars by The Visit England Quality In Tourism scheme. Situated in rural Lancashire and yet only 10 minutes from Junction 27 of the M6, The Shippon is the perfect base from which to enjoy the countryside and yet still be close to the coast, market towns, cities and other attractions.
The accommodation, a renovated barn, sleeps up to four people and has been decorated to a high standard.

Really enjoyed our short stay. The Shippon was perfect and everything as described. The place was lovely and clean and a friendly welcome by Pam. The homemade cake was a lovely touch. Many thanks.

Jonathan2016-10-29T00:00:00Z

Absolutely fabulous accommodation, beautiful decor, spotless, warm and had everything you could need to hand (even a home made cake when we arrived!). Pam was extremely friendly and welcoming and gave us good advice about where to visit and eat. Definitely a 10/10 from us :)

paula2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

From Grand Designs to Property Ladder, via countless other property programmes, The Barn Conversion is a well-known theme. The Shippon is a barn conversion and the result is as cosy and comfortable as it is pleasing to the eye. Pam and her husband have done it proud! Inside, Pam had provided some essential groceries. On its own, this was a nice gesture, but the icing on the cake was - well, a cake! Yes, Pam had baked us a cake! It was a Victoria Sponge and it was DELICIOUS! We ended up with a difficult problem to solve at the end of our stay - the comfort of The Shippon made it a very difficult place to leave. Only visiting friends and family elsewhere in the British Isles could winkle us out! But that (URL HIDDEN) we decided to take Pam with us!! Ok, we didn't, but it was a close call. The Shippon - you'll LOVE it. Hoscar is a great location for exploring. There are some great pubs in the immediate area. The Leeds-Liverpool canal passes near here and is great for walking along. Rufford Hall (1530) is not far from Hoscar and the canal runs close to it. Historic Ormskirk is close by and Southport and Liverpool are within easy reach. Picturesque villages abound. Lancashire abounds with mysterious places; you may have heard of the Pendle witches! But there are plenty of other places of mystery, intrigue and interest, from the Stone Age to the present day. Fill yer boots!! If you're going into Liverpool - 3 cathedrals (Roman Catholic, Anglican and The Cavern (ask your granny!!) - drive to somewhere on the Liverpool-Southport electric railway, park in a station and get the train. Parking in most cities is a nightmare! In the case of Liverpool, if you drive to Blundellsands and Crosby, go to the beach there and ponder "Another Place" - 100 life-sized cast iron statues of their creator, Antony Gormley. He also created The Angel of the North, near Gateshead. Hoscar is only about four miles from the M6 motorway, making The Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales, The Peak District and even North Wales only an hour and a half's drive away - well maybe a bit longer to Caernarvon or Holyhead, but still, eminently reachable. If you're into etymology, the name, "Shippon" means a cow shed. Don't let that put you off. It was what it was. The name is Germanic in origin and comes to us from Old English: "Scypen". To reiterate, The Shippon is a lovely place to be, whether you venture out of it, or not! Pam, the owner, is a delightful host and just the best Victoria Sponge baker this side of The Van Allen Belts(URL HIDDEN)

Mark2016-10-18T00:00:00Z

Great host, beautiful cottage. Nice rural location but still close enough to m6 to get around easily.

Shane2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in this lovely cottage. It has been very well maintained, is high quality and very clean. The garden is lovely and even better than in the photo. You would probably want a car, but there are some lovely pubs nearby, next to the canal. Pam was extremely friendly and accommodating.

A beautiful house nestled in the centre of the historic village of Croston. Built in 1863, this gorgeous retreat is just opposite the village green, which is home to two popular (dog-friendly!) country pubs. The house has all the luxuries you need plus a south facing garden, perfect for soaking up the sun. Nearby there are lots of restaurants, cafes and lovely walks. I have a key box at the front door so you can arrive at any time and there's lots of free parking. Any questions, please ask!

This gorgeous country cottage style dwelling is over 150 years old! With that comes gorgeous period features such as the stunning old street lamp on the front of the house.
The house sits in front of the bustling village green and country pub and restaurant, the Wheatsheaf. In fact, there are many places to eat and drink within walking distance.
Step out of the back of the house and take a deep breath of fresh air. The peaceful garden gets the sun all day, it's a real sun trap and sheltered from the wind. There's lots of lovely plants and flowers, perfect for a weekend away.
The house has two bedrooms both with double beds. There's also a cute little sun room, a perfect area for pets.

The house is very close to lots of amenities, which I've included in my guest book (found online as part of this profile or in a house manual at the house).
Walk out of the front door and there is the lovely village green. Just across the road there is:
+The Wheatsheaf Pub, which has a bustling outdoor seating area for sunny days. The food is amazing, especially the baked Camembert. They serve breakfast 10am-12pm Saturday and Sunday.
+Fresco Fresco, an Italian opposite the house with a restaurant/takeaway. The takeaway pizzas are freshly made in the pizza oven and are amazing.
+The Nelson Pub, historical old pub with outdoor seating area. Try the secret hook and ring game, strangely addictive!
On Town Road itself you can find:
+The Grapes, a country restaurant serving quality food and gorgeous afternoon tea.
+Thyme on the Yarrow, very cute cafe serving breakfast and lunch, the pate and cheese sharing platter is really nice.
+Panshi, Indian restaurant and takeaway, try the tandoori lamb chops with onion and pepper, amazing!
+Royal Bank of Scotland, cash machine just across the road from the house.
Within five to ten minutes walk:
+Westhead fish and chip shop, the best fish chips and peas for miles arounds, be prepared to queue but well worth the wait. Seating area outside.
+Bleu Belle, lovely beauticians for all your pampering needs!
+James Alexander Hair Salon, when you fancy a day off from doing a blow dry or just need a trim.
+Co-op food, good selection of food basics, also there's a post office service provided at the till.

Perfect location for those wanting a rural escape with pubs, restaurants and shops just a walk away or even across the road. We had a dog and this still wasn't a problem, very dog friendly place. Lovely walks too. Perfect break away. Would highly recommend.

Gemma2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

A really charming and beautifully presented cottage in the centre of Croston village. Great care and attention have been taken with the cottage, it's a perfectly presented space with good facilities, furnishings and equipment (the washer dryer plays a tune when it's done!) Really enjoyed staying here for a whole month (whilst we waited for our new home to be ready), we would really recommend it. The owner has provided attention to detail in a very thoughtful way and was on hand if we needed anything (including mowing the lawn every week). Thank you :-)

Wonderfully cosy home in a very picturesque village. Beautifully maintained home with a lovely garden.

This rates as one of the best I've stayed in on my travels. Lovely house in the centre of Croston, very clean and cosy, and comfy beds. Great pubs very close by with good food.

Alastair2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

A very quaint cottage, well equipped and in a fabulous rural village, well placed for pubs, Indian & Italian Restaurants. The local deli/cafe is a 2 minute walk, serves the best coffee and a cracking bacon and egg roll. Had a lovely stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Holly's place.

Brenda2017-09-15T00:00:00Z

Close to M6 and motorway network with +10 rooms in total (please contact for multiple bookings). Village location with good places to eat nearby. Easy access to Manchester and Liverpool and to coast and countryside. Local attractions and sporting events - walking, cycling, diving, swimming, golf and football.

Good sized rooms with en suite bathroom, quiet spot, tea, coffee, biscuits in room. Great spread for breakfast in main house in mornings. Communal fridge to store food but should be noted that there is no access to cutlery or crockery to eat anything you store. Although they did get a knife and plate for us to cut something when we asked, but no access to a kitchen. Walking distance to a couple of really good local restaurants (Italian & non-chain pub food).

Great place to say in the area. Overall great experience and welcoming hosts!

Steven2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

We were a last minute booking and Kate called very promptly to confirm our room. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and shown to our lovely room in the wonderful barn conversion. Very comfortable room and bathroom. Breakfast was generous and the soft boiled eggs perfect. Could not criticise a single thing in this delightful house and barn.

Absolutely perfect and great value for money at £40/night. The flat is private, self contained and spacious. The garden is open to the river and fields beyond - lovely. I would not hesitate in recording the flat and Mark is a thoroughly decent chap too.

Michael2017-09-21T00:00:00Z

Mark's as cool as a cucumber, totally relaxed and very welcoming. The place is a cosy little pad, nice and clean and has everything you need, good shower, comfy bed, big fridge all spot on. The one slight negative was that there was no toaster but there was a pretty slick grilling machine that made up for it. The location is the real winner, right next to a stunning river stream. The areas very green also can't ask for better if you want a quiet escape to the country and get some fresh air in the lungs. Only a minutes walk from Parbold station. Oh yeah the garden is awesome too, has kayaks, fishing equipment and a somewhat man-made gym. 10/10 will deffo be back for the summer, would recommend to anyone.

Seb2015-10-31T00:00:00Z

Lovely, down to earth, friendly host who was always available when we needed him but always respected our privacy. The property is a little rough around the edges but clean with a kitchen well stocked with pans and utensils. All in all excellent value for money. Thank you mark.

Simon2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Mark was an excellent host. We only booked on the day of our arrival, and still he welcomed us to his lovely flat. We were provided with great suggestions for trips to places nearby. Mark replied extremely quickly to enquiries and stayed in touch throughout our stay. The flat itself had everything we needed, the surrounding areas were purely beautiful. Would stay again any time.

Theresa2016-07-20T00:00:00Z

Mark's a nice guy and was very helpful regarding nearby amenities. But the place was a little dirty.

Carl2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

The picturesque village of Croston dates back to Saxon times and is steeped in history. The centre of the village has a lovingly maintained cobbled packhorse bridge, a well known feature in the many photographs of Croston. Just beyond, on Church Street, one of the best preserved rows of 17th century cottages in England, can be seen the cobbled pathway to the village church. Beyond this lies Croft Field with its array of animal wood carvings and wild flowers. The village boasts 5 gastro pubs all with their own individual charm, as well as two popular restaurants. There is also a traditional tea room, a bank and a hairdresser. There are two stores, Londis which is just across the road from the cottage and a Co-op by the local station.

Great house in a quaint little village. Right next to a nice little pub. House super clean and tastefully furnished! A bit of a trek to get to the tourist spots but the beautiful house and the lovely host make up for it!!

Heather 2016-10-20T00:00:00Z

A great find, we booked the house as we were attending a family party in Croston, it was perfect for us. Tucked away at the end of a very nice quiet cul-de-sac but within easy walking reach of town with its variety of pubs, restaurants, Co-op store and the party itself! From the original booking through to the end of stay everything was smooth and easy. The house was clean and comfortable and the welcome bottle of wine was a lovely added bonus! Didn't get to meet Ann & Steve but they and their caretaker were available at the end of the phone had we needed them, Steve actually called to check we'd arrived and everything was OK. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone wishing to see the lovely village of Croston and the surrounding areas.

Carole2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

Great stay at Ann & Steve's house. Lovely house situated in a quiet cul de sac. A real home from home feel. If weather would have been sunny then the garden would have been the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine.

The house is modern in a lovely spot and is exactly as depicted online. We had five adults staying and the facilities met our needs perfectly. Its a little secluded if you walk and want bars restaurants etc, but we had a car and found several within a 5 minute drive

Great for short stay. Made very welcome and very pleasantly surprised at provision lounge for guests with tv, fridge, microwave, kettle etc.

Luxury, 2 bed cottage in an English heritage conservation area. Fantastic views from every window. Newly refurbished to a high end contemporary finish. All the facilities of a modern boutique hotel but with the privacy of your own home with a beautiful garden. Lots of country walks along the most scenic part of the Leeds to liverpool canal, great pubs serving excellent food. All within 5 mins walking distance. If you like quirky, rustic charm this place is for you.

Lathom is a historic area in rural west Lancashire. The country house and its estate go back centuries and have played a key role in ancient battles. The chapel that still stands on the grounds of Lathom house was invaded by Oliver Cromwell. The Bullet holes can still be seen on the chapels altar today. The site goes all the way back to Roman times. Lots of significant archaeological items have been found from digs on the site in the past and more recently.

Adrian's home is stunning! Immaculately clean and beautifully furnished - artistic, unique and very comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting this area and Adrian is excellent at communicating and a very helpful host who went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate our exceptionally late arrival due to circumstances beyond our control. Much appreciated and would love to return in future.

Sara Jane2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

Adrian & his mum couldn't have been more helpful. We were greeted at the property and shown our way round. Although the property looks amazing in photos I must say it's even better in real life! The decor throughout the whole building is amazing. A modern-retro feel with traditional furnishing executed very well. A brand new kitsch filled fitted kitchen, beautiful teal bathroom with a very cool Burlington cistern above the toilet. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be staying again!

Craig2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

We have stayed in many Airbnb places and hundreds of hotels all over the world and I have to say, this was possibly one of the best! Adrian's house is chic and modern, with Art Deco furniture (sorry if I'm wrong Adrian; I'm no artist!). The place was immaculate and comfortable! The location is quiet and safe. We found a lovely pub about a ten minute walk called 'The Ship' which was a beautiful country pub next to the canal. All in all, Adrian's place is perfect and we plan to return in December.

Estelle2017-09-13T00:00:00Z

Marc2017-09-10T00:00:00Z

Adrian's place has been beautifully renovated and has inspired us to think about some updates to our cottage in London! Impeccably clean, with lovely soft, fluffy towels, too. Adrian communicated really well with us in the run-up to our stay, and was very flexible with check-in time. He gave us some good tips for local eateries (I can recommend a half-hour stroll down the canal to The Sinners Club, and the Ship Inn is lovely, too). My husband had tickets to the match at Anfield and that was half an hour in a taxi (I imagine it would be much longer for arrival closer to kick-off) so this was the perfect location for our family of four – peaceful and rural, but close enough to where we needed to be. Thanks, Adrian, for a delightful stay.

A log cabin cottage with a wood-burning stove in 2 acres of gardens, private hot tub, a tennis court and BBQ area. The cottage has one bedroom with a double bed and en-suite and one open plan area with kitchen / diner and TV lounge. We do have a SKY TV box in the cottage for freeview channels only, as well as a Blu Ray Player with a number of DVD's. Unfortunately, the internet speeds we get are very slow so if you need it to check emails or social media it will be fine. Fully equipped.

This is a log cabin cottage set behind our 18th century converted windmill, in our private gardens and very children friendly. There is a tennis court, a BBQ area and a children's play area. Please bear in mind, this is a log cabin in the garden which spiders love so even though we will do our best to get all the spider webs, you may still see the odd one; believe us when we say they spring overnight! If you love the outdoors, your tennis and don't mind our eight legged friends, then this is your place. Please also note that the internet speeds in the area are very slow. We provide you with our wifi code, and our speed is sufficient to download emails and social media browsing but not sure you will be able to stream large files or movies, which is why we have added a sky box with freeview channels and a blu ray player.

We are incredibly close to Preston and Southport centre / beach (only 15 minute drive each), 40 minutes from Bolton and 45 minutes from Liverpool and Manchester. Bretherton is a lovely village with a lovely village bakery and some lovely walks.

We had a great stay at Bretherton. The kids loved the small play area and grounds, and feeding the ponies! Hubbie loved the tennis court and I particularly loved the Secret Spa! Elpi was a very warm and welcoming host, readily available if we had any questions or needed anything. The accommodation was comfortable and nicely presented. Perfect for a family of four plus dog! Thanks Elpi, hope to be back some day! Xx

Elpi provided us with the perfect stay near to the seaside! We stayed in a beautiful log cabin with access to the outdoor hot tub! Lovely weekend away and we would be back in a heart beat! Elpi was a fantastic host, and I would 100% recommend her as a host as well as staying in her log cabin! Thank you for a fabulous weekend!

We had a lovely time in a lovely place. Our little boy enjoyed playing in the wispy willow very much!

Michael2015-08-21T00:00:00Z

Amazing host! Elpi welcomed us even though we were much earlier than expected. The cottage was awesome and felt roomy even though 8 of us stayed. Everything we could want was available and there was a shop a short drive away. Elpi even provided milk, tea and coffee for us. Clean and tidy with a nice comfy bed! Great comms before and after leaving.

Louis2016-06-20T00:00:00Z

Lovely stay. Cottage was nice and cosy. Very clean. Hot tub was brill, we made use of the tennis court as well. It's nice and peaceful and shops are about 2-3 miles away. Elpi was very helpful and was an excellent host. Would highly recommend staying here!

Dan2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay, perfect for a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle. Great cabin and the hot tub just topped it off. Would definitely recommend to groups of all kinds

Darren2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Elpi was a great host, great at communication and always trying to make sure we settle comfortably. The place itself was as cosy, roomy and very quite. We very much enjoyed our bank holiday weekend.

Really lovely place, in a gorgeous location! I went for two gorgeous runs in the countryside during our stay but it was also really accessible and an easy taxi journey to southport, where we needed to be for a wedding.

Martin Mere Wildfowl Trust walking distance, 20 - 30 mins.
Burscough Village 20 minute walk along the Leeds to Liverpool canal. Good pubs and restaurants in Burscough village.
Farmers arms canal side pub is a 5 minute walk. They do very good meals.
Leeds to Liverpool canal is 5 minute walk.
In the Autumn the migrating geese, are a very spectacular event, this is because of the close proximity to Martin Mere (Wildfowl Trust) site being so close.

This is a really well thought out accommodation with all you need to for a happy restful stay. Our little dog loved it so much as well. So comfortable and so pretty even in the cold weather it was warm. A great place to stay. The hosts provided all you need to a lovely time.

Both room and garden completely lived up to the description given in the listing, with the flower-filled patio area providing a perfect spot to relax in the late afternoon sun. Quite exhausting watching the many honey-bees at work on the beautiful blooms - just as well the chilled white wine was to hand! The location is just sufficiently off the beaten track to feel secluded but still within 30 minutes drive of beach and/or town. We would have no hesitation reccomending this property to friends and family. Oh, and the breakfast provisions were more than adequate for our two-night stay.

The Garden room is the most delightful place to stay. Alan and I arrived with our elderly labrador Penny and immediately felt at home as we were welcomed by Sarah and David. The room is beautifully furnished has everything anyone could possibly need. The extra large bed is so comfortable too. Outside the little patio is a wonderful place to sit and relax. Sarah had thought of everything and our fridge was filled with delicious breakfast treats. It is just a short walk to a excellent Inn on the banks of a canal, where we enjoyed a great evening meal. We just wish we could have stayed longer.

Mavis2015-09-08T00:00:00Z

We were made to feel really welcome during our brief one night stay, the owner's husband even dropped us off at our party nearby which was a really nice touch. The accommodation is fantastic and had everything that we needed, a great shower, wifi, comfy bed and plenty of tea, coffee and food for snacks and breakfast. There is a cute little outside seating area where we had our morning coffee and despite being next to the owners house the room is self-contained and very private. We would certainly recommend this as an excellent place to stay.

Jo2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

My experience of staying at the Garden Room was just great. Sarah (David too) couldn't have been more welcoming. They were there when I arrived to explain everything and I couldn't believe how generous Sarah had been with provisions for breakfast. She checked a couple of times whether I needed anything - a really kind host. The spacious room is as it appears in the photos, with an extremely comfortable bed and soft bed-linen. It was so useful to have the catering facilities there too. Everything was very clean, spotless. There is plenty of off-road parking space. I'd certainly stay here again when I come back to the area.

Staying with Sonia was just like living with your immediate family and feeling at home. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and you were made very welcome. This was Sonia's first air bnb booking but despite this was a fab host. We would definitely come back to see her and son Jack. Thank you xxx

Had a wonderful weekend at the Piggery, everything was brilliant for start to finish. Jennifer was a welcoming and attentive host, leaving us milk, cereal and tea/coffee for our stay. The hot tub was fantastic. We also made use of the gas BBQ and gym facilities. The bed was big and comfortable, shower great and surroundings just lovely for a weekend to relax. Would 100% recommend!

We had a fantastic weekend in The Piggeries. It is so cosy and comfortable - Jennie has done such a great job at making a small space feel so welcoming and bright. The hot tub was definitely the highlight for us and we loved exploring the local area - we would recommend Anglezarke Reservoir! Jennie was a great host and was on hand to help us with anything we needed without intruding on our privacy. Thanks for such a wonderful stay!

Ella2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

The Piggery is adorable! Spotlessly clean and super cosy.

Zoe2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Such a lovely stay! It was super quiet and peaceful. The decor was amazing and it was lovely and clean, the bed was so comfy and the hot tub made it! We would definitely stay again!

Freya2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay at The Piggery! We made full use of the BBQ and hot tub - Both were great! We enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful little break. Really enjoyed and would visit again definitely ! Jennifer is such a wonderful, caring and hospitable host she was there to help us with whatever we needed but also very much left alone to enjoy this lovely little place!

Dani2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place containing everything you'll need for your stay. All furnishings and decor are great quality and spotlessly clean. Brilliant value, great host, great communication. Faultless
